Adding New Jails in 9.3

[Kamegami]

I had previously formatted a usb stick with UFS and installed several plugins on that. I recently upgraded to 9.3 and want to install some more plugins. I am out of space in my current jail so I was planning on formatting and installing plugins on a new usb stick. However it appears that you can no longer format and import UFS drives. What would I do to import a drive to use for my jail?

I currently plan to install SickRage or Sonarr, SABnzdb+, Mylar, Transmission, a MySQL XBMC library, and potentially Plex if my NAS can handle it. Would 16GB of space be sufficient or should I get something bigger?

Could I run Plex on my system. I have 8gigs of ram (6 Gigs currently Wired) AMD A4-53000 with onboard Radeon Graphics in a 10TB 5 disk disk ZFS array. Could it handle it?

My next question is, how would I update to the latest jail templates? I currently have VirtualBox-4.3.12.

I think 8gb would fit all those, expect possible plex (if its storing a huge meta-data collection).
there's no point even mentioning ufs anymore, format the usb drive as a separate zpool, make sure to make the swap setting 0 before you create the zpool on the usb stick.

things might run stupid slow, your best bet would be do everything on your 10TB zpool.
